Skin is in.

When someone thinks of country they think of tinny guitars and unintresting subject matter. I strongly disagree with the popular opinion of country music. There are a few songs with touching and personal connections that many people enjoy. Such Songs are Whisky Lullaby by Brad Paisley and Skin by Rascall Flats. But the song that has a deep emotional meaning to me is Skin by Rascall Flat. I am a person who does not cry very easly but after listening to it for the first time I had tears streaming down my face. Skin is an emotional song based on a 17 year old girl named Sara Beth who found out she had cancer. Then after going through the treatment process and she loses all her hair she figures that no one would take her to her prom. But in the finale verse her date comes to pick her up and he shaved all his hair just so she wouldnt stick out in the crowd. Skin is a very well written and touching song and as I said it brought me too tears. I bieleve that people who hate country music should listen to this song and others like it then still tell me that they hate country music.

Most of the time people do think that country is a junk load of cacophony. but it isn't at all. I totall agree. Skin is an excellent break from "modern" country and brings a new style of making meaningful lyrics, rather than being the junky, whiny crap.
